DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

The following description is of the best presently contemplated mode of carrying out the present disclosure. This description is not to be taken in a limiting sense but is made merely for the purpose of describing the general principles of the invention. The scope of the invention should be determined by referencing the appended claims.

FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic view of a double liquid dispensing equipment according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 illustrates a side view of a reciprocating glue dispenser dispensing switch according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 illustrates a top view of the reciprocating glue dispenser dispensing switch.

Referring to FIG. 1 , the double liquid dispensing equipment 100 includes a double liquid valve 110, a mixer 120 and a reciprocating glue dispenser dispensing switch 200.

The double liquid valve 110 includes a first liquid supply valve 112 and a second liquid supply valve 114 to respectively provide a main agent and a hardener and evenly mix the same in the mixer 120.

The main agent and the hardener are provided from the first liquid inlet 116 and the second liquid inlet 118 of the first liquid supply valve 112 and the second liquid supply valve 114 to the mixer 120 through the rotor and stator of the first liquid supply valve 112 and the second liquid supply valve 114. In addition, the double liquid valve 110 can be formed by two single liquid valves without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

Additionally, the main agent can be glue, e.g. epoxy resin, polyurethane, silicone or the like, to mix with the hardener in a predetermined ratio, for example, 10:1. In some embodiments, the main agent can be mixed with the hardener in a suitable ratio without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

In some embodiments, the first liquid supply valve 112 and the second liquid supply valve 114 are micro screw valves, for example, mono pumps, to deliver the required liquid. The mono pump has a double-ended spiral, a stator with an elastic cavity bushing, and a rotor meshing with the stator. When the rotor continuously rotates in the stator so as to form a sealed cavity in the axial direction, the main agent and the hardener are respectively inhaled from the first liquid inlet 116 and the second liquid inlet 118, and then output to the mixer 120 with the pressure action.

The mixer 120, connected to the double liquid valve 110, preferably has a shorter length and fewer blades to reduce the residence time of the main agent and the hardener in the mixer 120. In some embodiments, the mixer 120 has less than 12 mixing blades, preferably less than 10 mixing blades, so that the main agent and the hardener are fully mixed, and the residence time in the mixer 120 of the mixed liquid can be reduced. In some embodiments, the aforementioned blades are preferably a plurality of mixing blades formed by spiral blades, for example, 8 mixing blades.

The main agent and the hardener are fully mixed in the mixer 120 and delivered to the reciprocating glue dispenser dispensing switch 200 to dispense the mixed glue.

The traditional double liquid dispensing equipment utilizes a pin to open and close the double liquid dispensing equipment at the position of the needle thereof to allow the mixed glue to flow out or stop. Therefore, the traditional double liquid dispensing equipment may cause problems such as glue pulling, glue accumulation or thickness inconsistency during the dispensing process due to the open and close of the needle by the pin, thereby affecting the dispensing quality.

The reciprocating glue dispenser dispensing switch 200 can utilize a reciprocating switch to open or close the glue dispenser. The force for opening or closing the switch is perpendicular to the flowing direction of the mixed glue so that there is no pressure caused by opening or closing the switch to push the mixed glue at the needle, thereby improving the dispensing quality.

Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , the reciprocating glue dispenser dispensing switch 200 includes a switching device main body 210, a needle holding base 220, a sliding wear-resistant plate 240 and a driving device 230. The switching device main body 210 includes a double liquid inlet 270 to connect to the mixer 120 to receive the mixed glue. The needle holding base 220 has a mixed glue outlet 280 to connect to a needle 250.

The sliding wear-resistant plate 240 is disposed between the switching device main body 210 and the needle holding base 220. In addition, the sliding wear-resistant plate 240 has a sliding wear-resistant plate opening 242. The driving device 230 connects to the sliding wear-resistant plate 240 to move the sliding wear-resistant plate 240. A chute 290 is preferably formed between the switching device main body 210 and the needle holding base 220 to install the sliding wear-resistant plate 240 in the chute 290 and allow the sliding wear-resistant plate 240 moving in the chute 290.

When the double liquid inlet 270, the mixed glue outlet 280 and the sliding wear-resistant plate opening 242 are overlapped, e.g. three openings aligned with each other, the mixed double-liquid glue can pass through the double liquid inlet 270, the sliding wear-resistant plate opening 242 and the mixed glue outlet 280 to reach the needle 250 for dispensing the mixed glue.

In some embodiments, the double liquid inlet 270, the sliding wear-resistant plate opening 242 and the mixed glue outlet 280 can have the same diameter. In some embodiments, the double liquid inlet 270, the sliding wear-resistant plate opening 242 and the mixed glue outlet 280 can have different diameters without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. In addition, the reciprocating glue dispenser dispensing switch 200 can determine the flow rate of the mixed glue according to the size of the intersection of the openings of the double liquid inlet 270, the sliding wear-resistant plate opening 242 and the mixed glue outlet 280 without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

In some embodiments, the reciprocating glue dispenser dispensing switch 200 further includes a driving rod 260 to connect to the driving device 230 and the sliding wear-resistant plate 240, so that the driving device 230 can move the sliding wear-resistant plate 240, thereby the sliding wear-resistant plate opening 242 can align with the double liquid inlet 270 and the mixed glue outlet 280.

Referring to FIG. 3 , the driving device 230 can move the sliding wear-resistant plate 240 to allow the sliding wear-resistant plate opening 242 moving in the moving path 310 to open or close the mixed glue outlet 280.

In some embodiments, the double liquid inlet 270 and the mixed glue outlet 280 are located at a first position 320, and the sliding wear-resistant plate opening 242 is located at a second position 330. The driving device 230 moves the sliding wear-resistant plate 240 to move the sliding wear-resistant plate opening 242 of the sliding wear-resistant plate 240 to the first position 320, so that the double liquid inlet 270, the sliding wear-resistant plate opening 242 and the mixed glue outlet 280 are overlapped to allow the mixed glue to drop on the surface of a workpiece through the needle 250.

In some embodiments, the sliding wear-resistant plate 240 includes a polytetrafluoroethylene sliding wear-resistant plate.

In some embodiments, the driving device may include a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a linkage mechanism and/or a cam group without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

Accordingly, the reciprocating glue dispenser dispensing switch can accurately dispense the glue for the electronic devices, and avoid causing push pressure on the glue when switching, thereby effectively improving the uniformity and stability in the dispensing process.
